• Real experience of living in a frame house;

• Important layout details;

• Recommendations for working with specialists.

Picking the Lot: What to Pay Attention To

"I searched for a plot for two years, I drove all the Moscow region. I didn't want to go too far from Moscow, and I didn't want to leave the Moscow region either. And I also didn't want to be near the MKAD – I wanted a place where I could breathe," - Irina tells.

What was the deciding factor:

• Natural environment: oaks, birches, maples, firs;

• Natural privacy: the plot is at the edge of the settlement;

• Topography: "Here there is a ravine, it goes downhill, and then the river flows";

• Infrastructure nearby.

Technical Solutions During Construction
Features of the Frame House

"The house is built at a production facility in a warm room, then it's transported and assembled on-site. It only takes one day to install with a crane," - explains the actress.

Important details:

• Finishing is done at the production facility;

• The house arrives ready with installed plumbing;

• Joints are additionally insulated on site;

• All utilities are planned in advance.

Working with Specialists

"I would recommend contacting a technical supervisor right away," - shares her experience, Irina. What the expert checked:

• Wood moisture content;

• Quality of insulation material;

• Airtightness of joints;

• Roof condition (using a drone);

• Quality of pipe insulation.

Layout Solutions
Functional zoning of the house (66 sq. m):

• Spacious living room with kitchen;

• Master bedroom;

• Guest room;

• Bathroom;

• Perimeter terrace.

"There's a dining room that doubles as the living room, and there are two bedrooms – my master bedroom and guest bedroom. There's also a sofa that folds out, so friends can stay over," - explains the homeowner.

Kitchen Features

"I don't cook much, but my friends do. And no matter what I'm making, I love to use sauces," - explains Irina's choice of practical materials.

Thoughtful details:

• Drying rack for dishes in the lower cabinet;

• Roll-out storage systems;

• Special coating resistant to stains;

• Convenient placement of appliances.

Engineering Systems
Heating
